Chapter 298: The voice

Gyles

Feel him. once you do. You will find him. this is Beau and my innermost thoughts speaking. I don’t know what they mean by this. I have always felt a connection with Rex, from the first day I actually talked to him. My heart went to him immediately. So, connecting with the bond we have should be easier than this.

I am supposed to look for him, deep within. I don’t know how easy they all think it will be. I have thought about him, pictured him in my head. Nothing is working. Hours have passed and he is still alone. He is still not found.

I am in Blue’s room. He took the book away but I know where he kept it. he keeps saying that he doesn’t want to use that kind of magic to find him but I think that is the only way we are going to find him. whoever did this must have used the exact type of magic that he is avoiding right now? Rex’s life is more important to me than anything else. I would give my life up for him. I will lose everything to make sure he is okay.

The door to the room opens and Blue walks in. he just came back from his meeting. The meeting is supposed to tell us if they are going to execute Levine.

Gyles.

I have been hearing voices in my head. Something has been calling me. An unrecognizable voice that keeps calling me. if it is Rex, I am supposed to feel him but this is different.

"How was the meeting?’’ I manage as I sit up on the bed.

He sighs and then runs his hands through his long hair "Not so good. I only have a week to find him.’’

I furrow my brows "Do you think he is going to be missing for that long?’’

He shakes his head "No way. I need to talk to Levine. Find out what happened, see if she will tell me the truth,’’ he manages. All I am hearing is that he doesn’t plan on doing anything but talking. Talking is not going to help us right now. we need something powerful—something like a spell that can lead us to him.

"She isn’t going to talk. You know that.’’

He sighs "I know, I have to try. I could get into her mind. See what she knows,’’ he suggests. "Maybe you could do the same thing you did to Rex. compel her. I just want us to exhaust all our options."

"Do you think it will be that easy? You said she is practicing powerful magic. Do you think she will just give us what we want easily?’’

I don’t know why I am so upset by his options. Maybe just knowing that there is a spell that can lead us to him so easily. I don’t want all the trial and error we have been doing. I want a solution and he just seems to be so calm about it all.

"We have to try.’’

"I know but we can just use the spell. that is the best thing we can do,’’ I push him. I know I am pestering right now but I am desperate.

He frowns "I already explained to you that we are not using the book. Why are you being so insistent on it.’’

"If you didn’t want to use it. why do you have it?’’

"We are not using it, Gyles. For once, just listen to me. do what I say please,’’ he is commanding. Why won’t he listen to me for once?

I stand up from the bed and walk over to him "Have you felt him all this while?’’ I ask him because I want to know if he feels okay about the fact that Rex has been very quiet.

"No.’’

I nod "have you felt me?"

He nods immediately.

I have felt him too.

It is not supposed to be that way. As Beau said, you are supposed to feel your mate and I have always been able to feel Rex but now I can’t. Does he think that compulsion will be able to find him if we can’t even feel his core?

"Are you not scared that he is in danger? Are you not scared that he could be dead somewhere and we will never know?’’

He remains silent. I know I am guilt-tripping him right now but I am also desperate too. I want this to be over. I want to find him and make sure no one ever controls him again.

"We have a way babe. I feel it in my soul. I know we will find him this way. Let me be the sacrificial lamb. Let me be the one that loses. As long as we find him."

"No one is losing anything G, I will handle this on my own," he deters, looking away from me. he is avoiding my eyes. He doesn’t want me to see that he is in pain when that is all that I feel. I can feel his pain and the fact that I can’t feel Rex’s pain is tormenting me.

I pull his face back to me from his chin and he closes his eyes. He is trying to stay strong but what is the point. I want him to show me his weakness. I want him to be vulnerable with me.

"I wean to help. We are in this together.’’

He opens his eyes slowly "Help me, try and talk to Levine. See if she will talk. That is the only help I want from you right now.’’

He is being stubborn and I know he is scared but I am not. I have been through a lot in my life. I am ready to take this risk if it will get him back to us.

"Please, let’s try this first,’’ he breathes out.

I don’t want to agree to this but I also know I have to listen to him. he wants to give this is a try. so I will do that and if it doesn’t work out...

"We do this the other way if this doesn’t work out,’’ I tell him.

He sighs and nods in agreement, even though I know he doesn’t even want to try the other way.

He smiles at me and my heart melts. This is the first time I am seeing a smile on his face since everything. he is playing the tough guy but I know how he feels, I know that he is hurting. He just lost his mother. That is a lot for anyone to take in. I don’t really know his relationship with the woman and I didn’t even know what kind of person she was but he grew up with her, for a long time, she was the only parent he ever knew and in the blink of an eye, she is gone. It must be challenging for him to handle that and everything else.

"Have you eaten?’’ he asks me.

I don’t know how to tell him that I am thirsty again "Blood?’’ he asks with a smile on his face. He pulls me closer to him and I rest my head in the crook of his neck. "I’ll go get some more for you,’’ he kisses my temple softly and this melts me into goo. I watch him leave the room and the feeling of loneliness hits me all over again. Just their absences and I feel like I might implode. I walk over to the bed and the voice shouts to me again. That voice, the one that is pulling me in. it feels like I am being hypnotized as I stand up from the bed and walk over to the closet. I don’t know what I am doing.

I can help you, Gyles, just give in to me.

I take steady breaths as the voice gets louder. I don’t know what is happening but my wolf comes out in that instant.

Do not listen.

Block it out.

He tells me but the more I try to push the voice out, the louder the voice gets. I reach for the drawers and pull them out slowly. I see the book again. The one that Blue said I shouldn’t touch. It is like a bright light that calls me in. The more I try to let go, it pulls me even more.

I know where the one you seek is. give in to me and I will show you your heart’s desires.

My hands shake as I grab the book, completely unable to listen to the cries of my wolf. If I do this, I will be betraying Blue. I made a promise to him. I don’t want to break it but I am desperate and not strong enough to fight this.

I know the one you seek and I can show you where he is.

Fuck. I don’t know what to do.
